Another update: I have been doing some more digging and testing. Here are my results:

- The links above are not specific for our phone. So, any work-arounds do not apply to us.

- In addition to MX Player, I have tried VLC player v0.1.4 and DICE player 2.0.51. Both produce the same results when doing HW decoding.

- I tried re-flashing R27 MK2 with KT kernel provided in the ROM. No difference

- I tried flashing the KT kernel update - 12/12. Same problem.

- I tried flashing R27 MK2 with stock kernel. Same problem.

- I tried flashing MK2 TriForceROM 5.0 with MX Player. Same problem.

- I restored my 4.2.2 MF9-R65 backup, and HW decoding is still working fine there.

- I am now back to my original MK2-R27 back up with the HW decoding problems.

What can I do next?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Personally I would first ask in Sac's thread if anyone running the MK2 build has the same issue. Try to rule out the android version first. I would also flash a 4.3 AOSP rom (pacman is my personal go-to) and see if that has the same problem. Maybe also drop an email or PM or whatever to the creator of MX??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] GatorDeb:
LOVING this ROM. And blue is my favorite color :D WiFi won't work, though (I just installed for the first time). 3/4G work fine, but if I press on for Wifi it won't work, it just stays off. Samsung S4. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
If you don't have any real time put into setup yet I would try formatting a couple times and install again. Also make sure your md5 is good. I have installed the last few builds many times trying all the options and such including both the stock and KT kernels and never outright had no wifi. There has been a few wifi fixes for 4.3 around but I honestly don't know what the condition(s) are that cause the issue. Maybe the Neg man can chime in on what the wifi problems are. I would try installing it with the stock kernel first, and if no luck wipe again and take the KT route. If all that fails Please post what build your installing and your firmware including if your running a mixed install (ex: mk2 firmware with mf9 bootloader). I'm sure one of us can get you up and running.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Yeah I tried that but it said it couldn't read it but that could have been to a bad download or something
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] GatorDeb:
Re-installed with the KT kernel instead of stock and now I have WiFi, whoohoo!!

Question, can I update this rom without having to reflash, i.e. when 4.4 comes out, etc? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
I tried that but it keeps saying (Error boot animation can't be read)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Does any1 know if the r27 has knox files removed? Sorry if its been asked i did search but didn't find nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Yes it has.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Thank you sir! Just another reason to say awesome!!!!

Is there a hotspot mod to flash? Maybe on the web site ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jasont1325:
OK guys. I need some serious help with SVN. I installed OASVN and set it up exactly how the instructions said to. Screen never shut off and I never left the app while it was downloading (took about 45 min.) I then installed SManager and followed the instructions exactly to attempt to install the update. But every time I try to run the sh file all SManager says is zip warning: name not matched, no zip exist: make sure you SVN is updated to the latest version. I am lost and have no idea where to go from here. Please help. Here is a screen shot after I try to run it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KStyles69:
I tried the Android SVN with no success in the past. Got lost on the same exact step you are on. The PC version/guide on page one is easier for me. After it all downloads/compiles there is even a "Nega zip" tool that zip's up the ROM with one click. From there transfer the file to your sd card via USB and your good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
+1 It has been flawless for me on the PC. I love the update feature since it only downloads the changed bits and pieces.

:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] desihaxx0r4life:
Hey guys so my dad decided to ignore my advice and took the MK2 official update. He just got the S4 and it's completely stock. Anyone know where to go from here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
You can still do all the same things Root, rom, custom recovery you just can't rest your flash counter which is kinda lame but in all want change anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KStyles69:
Its a good thing he took official updates. Next step is to download and install the latest version of Odin onto your pc... find a link to the latest Philz Recovery for this Sprint Phone.... download the ROM to your sd card and flash in recovery.

Here's the link to Odin...click here

Here's the link to Phil'z recovery...click here

When using ODIN flash using the "AP" option...leave all settings stock...never select the "re-partation" option...have a Galaxy s3 or s4 official USB cord...no other Wal-mart cord will work in my testing.

FOR THOSE STILL ON MJA HERE IS THE MK2 link with no knox bootloader verified working flashable through ODIN... no need to be on stock rom/recovery :)

Safest steps to flash a ROM %100 correctly through Phil'z is:

1. Choose option...Wipe Data/Install new ROM

2. Choose option...mounts storage and format /sdcard option to delete all your data on your internal SD card...so make sure your photos/files are on the external SD card.

3. Wipe cache

4. Wipe devlik under "advance option"

5. Install .zip...locate the ROM and click ok

r27 is thus far Neggamans best ROM available for the Sprint S4. Your Dad will be happy. I've tried hard to find something wrong...just cant :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] makipsee:
im still on the MF9 bootloader can i just odin the MK2 bootlader? and then upgrade to the newer rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Are you on the MF9 modem also? There is no reason to take the MK2 bootloader either way. Think modem and not bootloader. (the bootloader is what brings knox to the party)

I just did my wifes phone using the MK2 firmware from this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2338919

Went just as described in the OP using the first link in the second post. It will reboot after it completes then go through another reboot on it's own then say firmware upgrade is complete.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] countryteazer:
This ROM continues to be my personal favorite that's available for our phones. I may flirt with others, but I'm always back on this within a couple days. It's flawlessly smooth. I can't wait to see what Nega's got up his sleeves.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] makipsee:
i was looking at upgrading the bootloader bc i have been noticing little freezes and long freezes sometimes... also the phone will start getting hot when im not even using it and even after clearing the memory it still gets hot so usually i do a hard reset (holding the power button) and that usually fixes it. and Nega said hes not sure of any bug bc hes not on the MF9 bootloader and with the link that KStyles69 posted above my original post it says no knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
I'm with you on that one. Its been real quite around here as of lately. Kinda calm b4 the storm

I've installed 1 other rom when I first got into this custom world then found this rom. No other conpares.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
For what it's worth, I ran full mf9 firmware for weeks then mja with mf9 bootloader then mk2 with mf9 bootloader and never saw any of those symptoms. I would just make sure you really wanna go that route as there is no coming back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jdg2002:
me too

same here. been on MF9 bootloader since i had the phone. I've been using negalite roms without any hitches. best battery life ive seen. two days on one charge and buttery smooth too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dark_Soul06:
Can you guys check if your multi window works? I wanna make sure if I had a bad flash or something cause it doesnt work for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] blackbyron:
Hey Negamann, is there a way to change the system language? I couldn't find it in language and inputs menu.

EDIT:

nvm, fix it by using language enabler from play store. I don't know why language option appears after I install the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] makipsee:
and neither of u guys on the MF9 bootloader never had the phone freeze when ending a call or long hangs with the screen turning on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] marcustdu:
hey kstyles, you mentioned about the tar file on the mk2 firmware. i couldn't find it in earlier posts. I'm on mf9 bootloader and MJA firmware. Can anybody confirm you still keep the mf9 bootloader?

Question regarding r28: My phone keeps annoyingly playing notification sounds on every single little thing. Like literally anything or everything. I can't seem to turn it off. Facebook chat head wont notify me anymore when someone messages me. Basically what i'm saying is the notifications is screwed up for me for some apparant reason, wondering if any of you guys are having this problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rckozma:
Mine seems fine. I have noticed since I went to MJA, then MK2, that wi-fi doesn't really work anymore. When I flash the rom fresh, r27 and r28, wi-fi connects fine. But after about a day, no matter what I try to connect to it comes up with "Checking the quality of your internet connection...", when it finishes it shows "Network disabled because internet connection is slow". Not sure if it does an update after flashing that is causing this, but on mf9 I didn't have this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
First off, go here and use the first link in the second post: Latest Sprint MK2 Firmware - Download Link (Firmware Only - No KNOX BootLoader)

You will have mk2 firmware with mf9 bootloader. I did it on two phones without a hitch.

As for the notification sounds, I can't say I have noticed anything wrong on either phone so not sure why your seeing that.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

Do you have full mf9 firmware or did you update and what did you update to?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jdg2002:
no problems here....

nope. never ANY issues when turning screen on. a couple of times the phone switched on the camera when i ended a call, but never a freeze or long hang.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MYckel6:
I have the same problem with wifi on mk2 it connects fine after a fresh reboot but ones I leave and come back it will not connect unless I reboot or make a phone call???? Not sure why its doing that. I started MJA then upgraded to MF9 and now mk2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dark_Soul06:
Anyone's multi window not working? /;
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Theres a r28? S#@t .... i missed something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xBTx:
It's in SVN. I don't think a link has been posted for the zip though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Ok quick question...I know this isn't Q&A but what is Svn?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xBTx:
Subversion. There are instructions in the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
I guess I'm gonna have to let that 1 pass me by:( I have no idea what that is lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
The are instructions in the OP... If I can figure out out anyone can. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] marcustdu:
Everything is running good on Mk2. One thing that still concerning me is this annoying notifications. I get it randomly vibrating/ playing notification sound and there is nothing at the status bar/pulldown bar. It's really irritating and i'm on stock kernal. At the moment i'm playing with the setting to find out what's causing this, Am i the only one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rckozma:
I was on mf9, I flashed stock rom, did the Sprint update to mja, then rooted. I odin'ed the mk2 firmware from there.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

I didn't even realize that. Just was on a phone call and figured I would try it, sure enough, I turned wi-fi on and it connected and worked.....wonder why that is?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] socos25:
I'm going to guess it needs some type of reset. Going into airplane mode should do the same thing.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
If anyone comes across a flashable zip of the r28 in there travels would you be so kind as to post It some how. I tried to do the svnX thing but I'm already labled as device slayer lol and I don't really know alot about this whole phone thing and I dont wanna kill another phone.

If anybody uses folder mount, I'm having trouble mounting files between internal and external sd card is this rom related.or system. (4.3)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeyfreeman:
I just got a new s4, refurb through insurance to replace a lost one. It is full mk2, my old one was mdl odined up to mk2 as updates came out and this rom with kt kernel flew!! Now with r27, kt on full mk2 I cannot get wifi to turn on. Tried stock kernel with no luck and re flashed with kt's, again no luck. I love this rom, and since I have good data at home it's not a deal breaker, but it would be nice to have wifi. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
I believe there is a wife fix around here somewhere in these pages just not sure where. I also think if you go on the negalite site homepage under downloads you may find what you seek. But don't hold me to it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeyfreeman:
I went to kt's thread and grabbed the latest version of his kernel and flashed it and all works now! Hope this helps anyone else who has the same problem. It was the 12/23 version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Thanks bro for the follow up post with your fix. All too often we never get to find out if someone got the help they needed and even more importantly we don't get the re-application opportunities that come with it. I am not much for bumping a thread with posts like thas but thought it was worth saying out loud so to speak...

fixed text to speech issue

Ok guys and gals. I just posted an issue dealing with tts not working for texts and I couldnt get s voice to work either after I installed. In regards to that google it and look at the video posted in june. That one works. Once I got that to work I knew it was a tts issue. Heres the fix. First change ur input settings to google. The go to setting>app manager

Find goolge text to speech and fc and clear catch

Upcoming update

Negamann gave me a sneak peak at his latest development. Lots of work was put into his next achievement. Not gonna mention what it is until final release, but what I can say is that it's gonna bring a ton of new teaks to the ROM. My "beta r1" test so far has been working nicely. Not reporting any issues. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO STAY POSTED :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] socos25:
Everyone still here, just no problems to report.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] socos25:
I can't wait to see what you do with the update, I don't know if it can get any better than this. Stock battery, never seen it better. I did install the Crimson Dragon that someone recommend. I was skeptical because this profile over clocks a bit but actually seems to improve battery.

This was with 21+ hours off the charger. For some reason it won't let me attach more than one picture.

Thank you for what you do Negamann!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KStyles69:
Yes, everybody is still here...lol....just there is no problems to report.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:

Any way to get flash to work on this rom? It crashes skyfire and the stock browser doesnt reconize it..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Vampirah:
I'm on r28. This rom has been my daily driver for...a really LONG time. It's super stable and an elegant piece of work. I look forward to another fine release.

The only other rom I could specifically say that comes close to this on the AOSP side of things, would be Beanstalk and TeamGummy.

I should add BlueKuban, it is a fine rom as well. It was the fist rom I flashed to my S4 week 1 of the phone's release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brianhot1:
is there anyone reporting issues with not being able to use Samsung Cloud backup and restore options? When flashing the rom I am unable to retrieve info it defaults into saying later or retry? no matter how many times I select retry it does the same thing. I flash back to stock root mk2 because I really would like my messages. I gave it some days. Did a clean wipe. But whenever I want to restore my Samsung backup it does not allow me to do so.I don't mind downloading apps again. But I really would like my messages
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] makipsee:

Hey everybody... Another battery run test on Negamann's upcoming new weapon he is creating. I just got the new personal best battery run! I got almost 18 hours with 3 hours 55 minutes screen on. Most of it was 3g web surfing. I even downloaded a 900mb file on wifi on this run too. Spent at least an hour on phone time. This was an epic battery run.
